Brief Description: Seam the Strake Halves Together
Step 29: Seam the Strake Halves Together The strake halves are joined with two layers of bi-directional cloth [86]. Cut four strips of this cloth on the 45° bias, each 1" wide by 24" long. Also, prepare an extended resin brush at least 14" long to allow you to reach the seam at all points. As shown in Figure 39, a simple way to do this is to tape a pair of tongue depressors on either side of a standard brush handle. The figure also shows how the strake halves (taped securely together) can be supported in a vertical position for seaming using our favorite high-tech jigging system—masking tape.
bi-directional cloth ready, a bit larger than 1" :-)
